Answer: Ms.Kork paid $21500 for the car.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of money that Ms.Kork paid for the car.

The amount for which she sold the car was $100 more than two fifths of what she had paid for the car originally. The expression would be

2x/5 + 100

Ms.Kork sold her car for $8,700. It means that

2x/5 + 100 = 8700

2x/5 = 8700 - 100

2x/5 = 8600

Cross multiplying by 5, it becomes

2x = 8600 × 5

2x = 43000

x = 43000/2

x = $21500

irinina [24]
Let b>a...

b=2(a+4)

b=2a+8  then we are told that:

b-a=11  using b found above in this equation gives you:

2a+8-a=11  combining like terms on left side

a+8=11  subtracting 8 from both sides

a=3

So the smaller number is 3.

...

since b=2a+8

b=14

check..

b=2(a+4)

14=2(3+4)

14=2(7)

14=14

and

b-a=11

14-3=11

11=11
